A New Umbrella

For the past few weeks, Jenna's been asking for an umbrella. So while we were at the mall the other day, I splurged and bought her this adorable Stephen Joseph umbrella:

She was so excited and proud of it. She said on the way home that she was going to walk in the house with it, open it for her daddy, and say "Ta Da!" That's her new phrase. I had already thought of adding to her collection with the matching rain boots and rain coat over time.


Here she is modeling her new "bumbershoot," as her Yaya (grandmother) used to call it. Too bad within an hour, she'd broken it and the fun abruptly ended. Maybe she was a little bit too young for it, or maybe I shouldn't have let her walk around with it inside the house. Either way, we'll be waiting a bit longer before buying a replacement for her. It was fun while it lasted though!
